It is not necessary that the name <a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com">soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a> is a team registered its domain, just enough to be a valid website name and that is registered as nagios host (<a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com">http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a>). If you run the command: ping <a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com">soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a>, gets results ?? I hope I understood your question, Greetings Pablo A.

For example, I’ve included a couple of “Check Commands” and their “Expanded Command”. Example 1:<table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:white"><tr><td nowrap style="border:none;border-bottom:solid #777777 1.0pt;padding:0in 2.25pt 0in 2.25pt">Check Command</td><td style="padding:0in 1.5pt 0in 1.5pt">check_http!-H <a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com" target="_blank">soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a> -u "/PingBPEL/RunServiceTest?env=11GPROD&action=subscriptionSummary&custNum=1191078&output=xml" --timeout=30</td></tr><tr><td nowrap style="border:none;border-bottom:solid #777777 1.0pt;padding:0in 2.25pt 0in 2.25pt">Expanded Command</td><td style="padding:0in 1.5pt 0in 1.5pt">/omd/sites/prod1/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H <a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com" target="_blank">soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a> -u "/PingBPEL/RunServiceTest?env=11GPROD&action=subscriptionSummary&custNum=1191078&output=xml" --timeout=30</td></tr></table> Example 2:<table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:white"><tr><td nowrap style="border:none;border-bottom:solid #777777 1.0pt;padding:0in 2.25pt 0in 2.25pt">Check Command</td><td style="padding:0in 1.5pt 0in 1.5pt">check_http!-H <a href="http://soaebsprd.jeppesen.com" target="_blank">soaebsprd.jeppesen.com</a> -p 80 -u "/soa-infra/services/Jeppdirect/CreateCustomerPartyJDirectReqABCSImplV1/createcustomerpartyjdirectreqabcsimplv1_client_ep" -s endpoint --timeout=30</td></tr><tr><td nowrap style="border:none;border-bottom:solid #777777 1.0pt;padding:0in 2.25pt 0in 2.25pt">Expanded Command</td><td style="padding:0in 1.5pt 0in 1.5pt">/omd/sites/prod1/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H <a href="http://soaebsprd.jeppesen.com" target="_blank">soaebsprd.jeppesen.com</a> -p 80 -u "/soa-infra/services/Jeppdirect/CreateCustomerPartyJDirectReqABCSImplV1/createcustomerpartyjdirectreqabcsimplv1_client_ep" -s endpoint --timeout=30</td></tr></table> I get that, from Example 1, that “<a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com" target="_blank">soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a>” is the hostname and what follows is the URL path for the check, however, I don’t have a host named “<a href="http://soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com" target="_blank">soamonitorprd.jeppesen.com</a>” in my domain, so, in the Expanded Command, I’m unable to determine where the path actually resides. What am I missing/not understanding? Thanks in advance and I’m happy to answer any follow-on questions!
